Superman

Chapter 280 Tomb Raider Team, Two Suns

Ancient Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations.

It is located in northeastern Africa, the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River, which is now the Middle East.

About this place, it can be summarized as "one ancestor, two nations, three diasporas, and four wars."

Because of its special geographical location, it is a transportation hub between east and west.

Coupled with religious and cultural differences, this area has been in chaos all year round.

Of course, there are also reasons for interference and intervention by major powers.

Most people's impression of ancient Egypt may be dark and primitive temple buildings, magnificent pyramids, and mysterious sphinxes.

In fact, in addition to the above, the earliest mutant organizations also appeared here.

Compared with Europe and North America, the Middle East, where the three religions and the nine streams live in groups, is actually more convenient to hide yourself, and suffer less rejection and persecution.

In addition, Apocalypse, the oldest mutant on earth, was born in ancient Egypt.

After he became a noble pharaoh, he transformed all the loyal guards around him into mutants.

Later, Tianqi fell into a deep sleep and was gradually forgotten.

But those mutants who have been transformed continue to develop their compatriots and strengthen their forces.

In the Middle East, every warlord or religious leader with some strength.

More or less in their hands, there are several mutants as secret weapons.

Set the time back to twenty minutes ago.

Outside the pyramid.

The endless yellow sand desert.

A team of people is actively conducting excavation work.

Look at their dress, like a caravan walking in the desert.

But judging from behavior, they are more like a group of tomb robbers.

Pyramids are the tombs of ancient Egyptian kings, and these rulers have been called "Pharaohs" in history.

Due to the profound influence of religious culture, the ancient Egyptians formed a deep-rooted "idea of ​​the afterlife".

They believe that the world is only a short-term residence, and eternity can only be obtained after death.

Therefore, every ancient Egyptian, especially the noble class.

They will carefully prepare their own graves in order to obtain eternal life after death.

The Pharaoh’s mausoleum pyramid means “the ladder to the sky”, and naturally it is more magnificent and shows its tolerance.

When they die, they will use various precious jewels and antiques as funeral objects.

Those rulers enjoyed the honor before death, and after death, they are eager to bring power and glory to the underworld.

They just don't know that using a magnificent building like a pyramid as a mausoleum can not only show its strength and majesty, but also attract a constant stream of tomb thieves.

For example, now.

"Are you sure it is here?"

A rough man with a beard frowned and asked.

"What I'm looking for is the pharaoh's tomb, like Tutankhamun's tomb, which can make us a lot of money!"

Tutankhamun was also a pharaoh in Egypt. His mausoleum was located in the Valley of the Kings and was later discovered by a British archaeologist.

The funeral items in it are extremely valuable. Just the gold mask weighing ten kilograms and inlaid with various gems can be auctioned for sky-high prices.

According to statistics, the museum valued some of the antiques and gold excavated, which can be as high as 650 million pounds.

This is an astronomical figure, enough to make anyone crazy about it.

Since the discovery of Tutankhamun's mausoleum, all the archaeologists involved in the development work have become rich overnight, attracting countless enviable eyes.

Correspondingly, the Valley of the Kings, dedicated to the burial of pharaohs and their concubines, is also full of potholes.

Every place where treasures might be buried has been enthusiastically visited by tomb robbers.

"Caliban will not lie. I can feel that there is a pyramid underneath it. It has not been discovered yet and is buried underground."

A bald man with albinism said in a positive tone.

His name is Caliban, and he is an alpha mutant.

It has excellent perception ability, not only can detect nearby compatriots, but also can detect terrain, which is called a humanoid radar.

"I hope you can't make a mistake."

The beard said with a warning.

The "archaeological work" in ancient Egypt is one of the hottest investments in recent years.

Many wealthy aristocrats like to find a few archaeologists, and then give money and people to find the tomb of the pharaoh.

As long as you succeed once, the rewards are extremely generous.

Just like the great sailing sport that was once popular, the royal family and nobles sponsored navigators. They discovered the New World and brought back gold and spices.

"Kariban can't go wrong."

The bald man seemed to be afraid of the sun, covering himself with a hood.

He is the most famous black market businessman and intelligence broker in the Middle East.

As a mutant, not only was he not discriminated against, but he was also alive and well.

"Dig down, you can definitely get a surprise."

Kaliban hides in the shadows, in his perception, there is a magnificent pyramid beneath the ground.

Judging from the size and scale, it is definitely not much worse than Tutankhamun's tomb.

His deal with Beard was to find a pyramid tomb that had not been visited by tomb robbers.

You can get a generous remuneration and the protection of private armed forces.

Beard is a major warlord in the Middle East, and the employer behind him is even more mysterious.

Belongs to the target that Caliban cannot offend.

"found it!"

Someone dug the entrance to the pyramid.

"The inside is sealed, and it can only be opened with explosives!"

When the beard heard that the entrance was sealed, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

This means that it has not been visited by tomb robbers, and it is a complete mausoleum like a virgin land.

"Blast it! Blast it for me!"

The bearded shouted.

He was employed by a certain organization in the United Kingdom to search for ancient ruins, such as pyramids and pharaoh's coffins.

Certain rich and powerful British men seem to be very interested in mysterious powers.

Every time there is news in this regard, they will actively contact themselves and provide a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Good job, Caliban! You are still useful."

The beard is very satisfied, and he is not stingy with compliments.

Soon, the explosives were set up.

Boom!Boom boom boom!

A huge sound burst out, shaking the gravel on the ground.

The entrance to the inside of the pyramid has been unblocked.

"Send a team in first! See the situation!"

Commanded the beard.

In order to prevent the tomb robbers from destroying the tomb and disturb the pharaoh's sleep.

When some pyramids are built, various structures are designed.

After those uninvited guests died, "Pharaoh's curse", "entangled ghosts", and other horror stories came out.

"If you can find some good things, the Englishman should be more generous in his shots."

The beard is dreaming. If a local warlord like him licks the British, he might develop better in the future.

"and many more……"

After a few minutes, Caliban's complexion, hiding in the shadow, changed slightly, as if he had sensed something.

There was a panic in his eyes.Hastily ran to the side of the beard.

Regardless of the scorching sunlight, he said anxiously: "Get out quickly!...There are people inside!"

Someone?

The pyramid is the tomb of the Pharaoh. What else can there be except mummies?

The beard's question was still stuck in his throat, and the ground shook suddenly, far greater than the movement caused by explosives.

The gravel is constantly rolling like flowing water, forming turbulent eddies of different sizes.

Rumble!

The pyramid buried in the ground rose suddenly.

The terrifying pressure, flowing down like a waterfall, suffocated everyone present.

The magnificent pyramid rises from the ground, showing its true colors.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and majestic figure dressed in metal armor came out of it.

"Could it be... Apocalypse?"

Caliban shivered, and as he felt, the tall figure was like a huge mountain range, too heavy to breathe.

The energy rays radiate out, forming substantial high-temperature heat.

Just like the sun god in ancient Egyptian mythology, people can't help but want to kneel down and worship.

For the first time, Caliban thought of the Apocalypse that only exists in the legend, the oldest mutant on earth.

Except for the other party, he couldn't think of any other mutant that could possess such a terrifying aura.

"But, why... there is another one?"

Shaking all over, Kaliban knelt down slowly.

The shock in my heart has not yet been calmed down, and I feel a powerful existence.

That person exudes energy light not much worse than the apocalypse, majestic, like an erupting volcano.

Suddenly, two suns appeared in the sky.
